I understood the OP's question to be about the hardware that he will buy to build his desktop from. In regard to software, imho for a desktop it does not matter. I had good experiences with both Lin 32bit and Lin 64bit on 64bit hardware. However my experience with win 64bit software will make me recommend win32bit software for 64bit hardware. But: I never had the privilege to test win 64bit server software.
